Nun Stops Sotheby's $ 1.6m Chinese Painting Auction
A painting by famous Chinese artist Zhang Daqian was set to sell at a Sotheby's auction house today in Hong Kong. But the sale was stopped after a Taiwanese nun claimed that the piece belonged to her family. Lu Chieh-chien filed a writ against the auction house with the Hong Kong High Court saying that it had been given to her father, who was a friend of the artist. [Lu Chieh-Chien, Claimant of $ 1.6mChinese Painting]: "In 1950 Zhang Daqian gifted this to his friend. The friend's named on the painting Gen-guan was my father's name." The painting, called "Riding in the Autumn Countryside" was estimated to sell for $1.6 million. Zhang Daqian is one of the most prestigious painters of the 20th century. He brought in more auction revenue than any other artist in 2011. But the Buddhist nun says her claim is not about sentimentality or fame, she just wants the painting returned to its rightful owner. [Lu Chieh-Chien, Claimant of $1.6M Chinese Painting]: "Although as a nun, I don't think about sentimentalities like those between friends, or those between a father and daughter, this was more about justice. I did not ask anyone to auction this painting, I really want to find out how it ended up there." Lu said the painting was given to her as a wedding present by her father, but when she took up the robe, she entrusted it to her brother. According to the South China Morning Post her brother left it in the hands of an employee, who she has asked to account for its whereabouts. [Lu ...

Huawei and ZTE Threat to US National Security: Congressional Report
If you're a US company thinking about buying from Huawei, China's largest telecom gear maker, "find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property; if you care about your consumers' privacy and you care about the national security of the United States of America." That's according to Mike Rogers, the chairman of the US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee. Last November, he and Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger lead an investigation into reports that Chinese telecommunication firms Huawei and ZTE Corp had close ties with the Chinese regime and their business in the US would be a threat to national security. The committee released its findings of that investigation today. Citing credible allegations from unnamed industry experts and employees from Huawei, both current and former, the panel said there was evidence that the company could be involved in bribery and corruption, discriminatory behavior and copyright infringement. Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, started the company after leaving the Chinese army and his ties to the military has been of particular focus. According to US intelligence officials, China has been foremost in the world in its attempts at economic espionage against the United States. ZTE's stock has fallen 48% this year, according to Bloomberg news, following the scrutiny it has received in the US. Both companies and China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei have publicly denounced the hearing as prejudiced and unfounded. For ...

Skydiver Prepares to Break Sound Barrier
Austrian Felix Baumgartner prepares for attempt to become first skydiver to break the sound record. Full story: An Austrian extreme skydiver has been making final preparations for his attempt to jump from a balloon-hoisted capsule at a record altitude of 23 miles. The attempt by Felix Baumgartner will be the highest, fastest freefall in history and he will also attempt to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier%mdash690 mph. The current record for the highest-altitude skydive is 102800 feet (19.47 miles). It was set 52 years ago by US Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger, who is serving as an adviser to Baumgartner. During the jump the 43-year-old Austrian will be wearing an astronaut-style pressured suit and helmet, which if breached could cause boiling blood, a condition where lethal bubbles form in his bodily fluids. Another risk for Baumgartner is that he could lose control of his body which may cause his eyeballs to hemorrhage and possibly put a blood clot in his brain. The risk isn't enough to stop Baumgartner, who is also known as "Fearless" Felix. [FELIX BAUMGARTNER, Skydiver]: "Doing something like this, breaking the speed of sound, breaking Joe Kittinger has always been my dream since I was a little and I'm so happy that Red Bull has been supporting this idea for so many years." The attempt to break the record was originally scheduled for Monday (October 8) but weather conditions have forced plans on to Tuesday (October 9). [Don Day, Meteorologist]: "Between ...

David Blaine Endures Lightning Storm for 73 Hours
Magician David Blaine performs million volt stunt in New York City. Full Story: David Blaine goes toe-to-toe with one million volts of electricity on Friday. The magician was elevated to a platform above a high-voltage Tesla coil, dressed in a 20-pound chain-mail suit, and proceeded to shoot purplish arcs of lightning out of his hands all in unison with music. Blaine will stand on the 20-foot-high platform for 73 hours without food amid an artificial lightning storm crackling between low-current, million-volt Tesla coils. During a press conference earlier in the week, he described how this latest idea grew out of an image he had of himself at the center of a giant plasma globe. Realizing the idea would require him to exist in an airless vacuum%mdasha feat beyond even Blaine's prowess%mdashhe adapted the idea to instead use Tesla coils. "I don't know if he's really feeling something or if it's like those volts that you can touch and nothing happenings."

Japanese Car Sales Slump for September In China
Last month, a territorial conflict between China and Japan ignited anti-Japan riots around China. The more violent ones saw protesters targeting Japanese businesses and smashing Japanese cars. Japanese automakers are now reporting a slump in sales for September in China, which many attribute to anti-Japanese sentiment. With owners of Japanese cars being targeted as well, consumers are thinking twice about buying Japanese products. Mazda reported a 35% percent decrease from September sales last year, as well as damage to some of its dealerships in China. Mitsubishi Motors Corp reported sales went down 63% from September 2011 and Nissan has stopped output till October 8th. Japanese media reported that Toyota also suffered this month but the carmaker says it will not release its numbers till Tuesday. One Nissan employee says despite sales being bad, things will pick up again once people have cooled off. [Shu Miaoteng, Showroom Sales Manager, Nissan]: "Our Nissan products are a state-owned and state-run operation, which means that it's a fully Chinese property. So after all of this, when everyone has quieted down and distinguished exactly what really counts as Japanese products and Chinese products, in this way, after judging it rationally, our sales volume will recover." A Toyota executive told Reuters that despite an overall low in September sales, the end of the month did start to pick up. From: NTDTV Views: 235 3 ratings Time: 01:32 More in News & Politics

Congressmen Urge Clinton To Release Information on Forced Organ Harvesting in China
There are more calls for the United States government to act over allegations that the Chinese regime has engaged in illegal forced organ harvesting. This time, the call is coming from US lawmakers. This week, 106 members of the US Congress co-signed this letter. They're asking the State Department to release any information it has on the forced organ harvesting allegations. That includes any information Wang Lijun, the former police chief of Chongqing, may have given to US officials after he fled to the US Consulate in Chengdu. The letter comes less than one month after a Congressional Hearing on the subject on September 12. During that hearing, a former prisoner of conscience, medical doctors and a published author presented evidence suggesting that the Chinese Communist Party has been killing tens of thousands of religious and political dissidents for their organs. Victims identified in the letter include Uighurs, Tibetans, House Christians, and practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. In particular, the bi-partisan letter mentions claims that Wang Lijun may have given information to US consulate officials about the harvesting of organs from still living Falun Gong practitioners. Dr. Erping Zhang, the spokesman for the Falun Dafa Information Center, says it's significant that so many Congress members have given their support, and the US government should reveal what it knows.
